USING TIME, TALENT AND TREASURES TO BUILD A STRONGER COMMUNITY

We are managing a blossoming program with 1 1/2 staff members!  As the program grows and matures having members get involved and participate in the many facets of the organization is vital! Members who volunteer with Lifelong Learning find new friendships, skills, and a way to impact on the program's health and growth. Please consider the skills and talents you're willing to share as you read the options below. If you have more questions or are interested in getting more involved,  please contact lifelonglearning@wofford.edu and we will answer any questions and connect you to the committee's chairperson and meeting schedule.
